SpinBlitz Casino Full Review

Remember Scratchful, that under-the-radar social casino? Well, it’s back with a flashy new name - SpinBlitz- and a fresh coat of paint. But will this rebrand work? I spent days grinding slots, testing bonuses, and decoding the fine print to find out. Let’s break it down - no sugarcoating, just real talk.

Who’s In, Who’s Out in the US? 

Well, to start with, the rebrand didn't work with the state restrictions. You're out of luck if you’re in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Washington, or West Virginia. This casino spells out 15 restricted states, more than rivals like Pulsz or Chumba. Annoying? Of course. 

Hot take: The rebrand didn’t expand access. Same old restrictions; new logo.

Free Coins and Other Promotions

Sign up, and you’ll get 7,500 Gold Coins (GC) + 2.5 Sweeps Coins (SC). But here’s the kicker: some folks report getting 9,000 GC on day one. Confusing? Maybe regional quirks. Either way, GCs are play-money, but SC (the redeemable ones) require 1x play-through before cashing out.

They also throw in an extra 1,500 GC and 0.20 SC just for logging in on your first day, which is a pretty standard daily login bonus. If you're thinking of chipping in some cash, their first purchase bonus is pretty solid – for $9.99, you can usually get 50,000 GC, plus a good chunk of 10 SC and even 30 free spins with those Sweeps Coins. That's a pretty generous 150% bonus, definitely worth considering if you're planning to play a bit more.

Beyond the initial bonuses, they keep the ball rolling with daily login rewards, which are okay, but honestly, the 0.20 SC daily isn't going to make you rich quick. However, they do have a good mail-in bonus for 4 SC, which is a bit old-school but a guaranteed way to get some redeemable coins. Their referral program is also pretty sweet, potentially netting you up to 100k GC and 50 SC if your friends make a purchase.

Plus, they're active on social media with contests and giveaways, and they run daily slots tournaments with some seriously impressive prize pools in SC – sometimes up to 300,000! Overall, the bonuses are plentiful, though some of the daily amounts could be a little higher.

Watch Out: The T&C barely mentions SC—they’re buried in promo terms. Sketchy? A little. Always screenshot your bonus details.

Slots, Slots, and…More Slots

SpinBlitz is a slot paradise with 1,000+ titles from big names like Pragmatic Play and NetEnt. Faves include Money Train 3 and jackpot games like Blitz Jackpot (starts at 50k SC). 

Now, about that "LIVE" category – it's definitely a promising sign that they've (finally?) added live dealer games. This is a big step up and something that was noticeably missing before. It'll be interesting to see just how extensive this section is, though. Will it just be the bare basics like blackjack and roulette, or will it offer a wider variety of live tables and game shows? The devil's in the details here, and players will need to actually check it out to see if it meets their expectations for a live casino experience.

Even if they've finally dipped their toes into live games, they have Speed Blackjack, Crash Live, Gravity Roulette, Auto Roulette, Live Roulette, and Gravity Blackjack. It's a start for live dealers, I guess.

Still doesn't excuse the fact that if you want a simple, no-frills game of digital blackjack or roulette, you're still out of luck. This "modern" live selection feels like they're trying to distract from that basic omission. We'll see how well these "gravity" versions and the crash game are actually implemented, but the core issue of missing standard digital tables remains a definite drawback.

As for the scratchcards and Slingo, they're there, and they offer a bit of a diversion. But these are often more of a side attraction rather than the main event for most serious casino enthusiasts. The "Unlimited Play" slots are a nice idea if you're completely out of Gold Coins, but the selection there is usually pretty limited. And those exclusive games you unlock with a purchase? Well, they better be good to justify spending real money on Gold Coins just to access them. Here's how I summarized them:

The Good

• Megaways, Hold & Win mechanics, plenty of variety.
• Unlimited Play section: Free games if you’re broke (but they’re basic).

The Bad

Repetitive themes. After 50 fruit machines, you’ll crave a roulette wheel.

P.S. No demos. I can’t test games without burning GC.

Easy to Spend, Tricky to Cash Out

When it comes to buying more Gold Coins, SpinBlitz keeps it pretty straightforward. They accept your usual credit and debit cards like Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, as well as convenient options like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Purchases are usually instant, and they have a range of packages starting from a very affordable $1.99 (4K GC). But, no e-wallets! 

Redeeming your Sweeps Coins is also a fairly smooth process. You can opt for gift cards with a low minimum of just 10 SC, which is great if you don't want to wait to accumulate a larger amount.

For those wanting cash, you can redeem via online bank transfer, but the minimum here is a bit higher at 50 SC. Redemption times are reasonable, usually taking 24-48 hours for gift cards and a few days for bank transfers. Just remember, you'll need to verify your identity before your first redemption, which is common. The daily redemption limit is a decent 10,000 SC, except in Florida, where it's capped at 5,000 SC.

Annoyance Alert: SpinBlitz’s T&C says they can void SC if they suspect “errors”— vague, but a practice in many sweepstakes casinos.

UX: Smooth but Bland

Fine, the SpinBlitz website loads fast enough and isn't a complete mess. That drop-down menu gets you around, and you can filter by provider. But let's not pretend it's some groundbreaking, intuitive masterpiece. It's functional, and that's about the highest praise I can muster. Nothing particularly stands out in terms of design or ease of use. And finding support? Buried like a treasure map.

If you're like me and find yourself wanting to spin some slots while waiting in line, their mobile site gets the job done. It's just a web app, so no need to clog up your phone with another download. It functions about as well as the desktop site, which, isn't saying a whole lot. The menus are at least designed for thumbs, which is a plus, but be prepared for some of those buttons to feel a bit squished together. 

And a word of warning: kiss your battery life goodbye if you plan on playing for any length of time! Honestly, it would be a much better experience if they had a community chat where you could trash-talk other players during tournaments, and live leaderboards would definitely add some much-needed competitive edge.

Hitting and Missing Customer Support

SpinBlitz offers a decent range of customer support options. They have live chat, which is always a plus, but it's only accessible after you have made a purchase, even a small one. That's a bit of a downside for new players who might have questions before spending any money.

You can also reach them via email at support@spinblitz.com, and they seem to get back to you within a few hours. But honestly, when you have an issue, a few hours can feel like an eternity.

For payment problems in the US, they give you a phone number; just remember you'll be footing the bill for that call, as it's not toll-free. That's a bit cheap if you ask me.

They do have an FAQ page, which is better than nothing, but you know how it goes – it probably covers the basics and leaves you hanging if you have anything slightly out of the ordinary.

Is SpinBlitz Legal?

Short answer: Yes. It’s a sweepstakes model, so no real-money gambling. Licensed in the Isle of Man, games use RNGs, and SSL encryption keeps data safe. Just avoid restricted states, and you’re good!

Pros and Cons of SpinBlitz

Who’s It For? Casual slot fans who want occasional cashouts. Not for high rollers or poker pros.

Final Verdict - ⭐7.5/10

I'd bet we'll continue to see a steady stream of new slot releases on SpinBlitz, which seems to be their bread and butter. They'll probably keep those social media promotions and tournaments coming, too, which is great for earning extra coins. With the addition of live dealers, I'd hope to see that section grow and improve over time. Maybe they'll even explore some more innovative social features or community aspects down the line.

My recos to SpinBlitz? Let us use PayPal, for crying out loud! Plus, your Daily Bonus of 0.20 SC feels insulting. Answer common questions without making us email, and lastly, browser’s fine, but apps rule!

If you do sign up, stick to GC for fun, chase SC via referrals/mail-ins, and verify your account early. And hey, SpinBlitz, next rebrand, maybe focus on features, not fonts? 🎰
